1) Some vidja games allow you to form relations to other characters
2) Some vidja games allow you to change your appearance throughout the game
3) Changing your face completely would probably freak out people IRL (in real life)
4) It doesn't in vidja games
5) The disparity between 3 and 4 is funny

When I played Fable I was an enormously fat guy in pink armor wearing a skirt and literally everybody wanted to marry me.

Video games are just...video games.

As an aside as soon as I noticed the title "Piemaster" I had to buy it and loving own it.

Most of Dante's Inferno's characters were friends, enemies or political figures contemporary to Dante Aligheri in real life, who he gave ironic punishments to based on imagined (or in some cases actual) transgressions. You could almost say it was fanfic of his own life at a stretch.

Truely we are in the midst of the modern Shakespeare and Dante.

Pretty hardcore fanfic of Virgil too.
Dude just Mary-Sue'd himself into hobnobbing with the who's who of classical work.

Did the concept of fanfiction even exist in the 1300s? I don't get it.

I don't know about 1300s, but it certainly happened in the 1600s; in the second volume of Don Quixote, Cervantes spends a lot of time taking potshots at the fake second volume that somebody else wrote.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.
The Book of Revelation makes a lot more sense if you think of it as fanfiction for the Old Testament.

Also John was on shrooms when he wrote it, so it's stoner fanfiction at that.

Old marmaduke was a hilarious comic about a devil dog that bullied the entire neighborhood and would straight up loving murder you. They stopped drawing his evil rear end eyebrows and now it's just a dumb goofy dog that is awkwardly large. Shaking my drat head.
